BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Soldiers from an Iraqi army unit in the western province of Anbar have been killed in an apparent 'friendly fire' incident, an Iraqi military officer and a police source said on Thursday.

The military source said 22 soldiers had been killed when an aircraft, which he said was from the U.S.-led coalition, bombed the headquarters of an army company on the edge of Ramadi city, Anbar's provincial capital.
